Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration. Accordingly, a ‘genius’ is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework
天才那就是1％的靈感加上99％的汗水”這句話原文是Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration. 最早發(fā)表出版在1932年九月刊的Harper's Monthly.在1929年的一場(chǎng)新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上,愛迪生曾言"None of my inventions came by accident. I see a worthwhile need to be met and I make trial after trial until it comes. What it boils down to is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration."還有一種版本是這樣的："Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration. Accordingly, a 'genius' is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework."這里面可明確看出下一句是更加強(qiáng)調(diào)了努力的重要性.與幾位外國(guó)朋友求證,他們說該說法從未聽過,聞所未聞.
